Utility Transparency: Public Disclosure of Regulator Meetings with Electric Lobbyists.

This bill requires state regulatory bodies to consider and implement a standard mandating the public disclosure of all meetings held with lobbyists or representatives of private electric utility companies. The goal is to increase transparency in decision-making processes that directly affect citizens' utility bills and service quality. State authorities must make a determination on this standard within one year.
Key points
State regulators must consider publicly posting details of meetings with electric utility lobbyists and executives online.
